Chapter 1256 Ups and Downs

Just as everyone was struggling to hold on, a team member suddenly shouted, "Look at their eyes! The frequency of the ghostly light flashing is the same as the frequency of the runes flashing on the monster leader!" Everyone suddenly realized that this might be the lesser demons' weakness. The warriors quickly adjusted their strategy, focusing their attacks on the lesser demons whose eyes were flashing at a specific rhythm. With each hit, a lesser demon fell in agony. The mages also changed their attack methods, unleashing powerful spells in sync with the warriors' rhythm. With the continuous attacks, the encirclement of the lesser demons gradually tightened. However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, a gigantic demon slowly rose from the depths of the earth. It emitted an even stronger ghostly light than before, and its eyes revealed endless malice. The appearance of this great demon made everyone's hearts jump again. A new battle was about to begin, and the real challenge seemed to have just started. The great demon roared to the sky, and the sound waves spread out like shockwaves, causing many team members to feel their blood surging. With a swing of its thick arm, several warriors were swept away. The mages hastily cast shields to protect their wounded teammates. Just then, the team member who had previously discovered the lesser demon's weakness cried out again, "Look at the greater demon's forehead! The eerie light there flickers in the same pattern as the lesser demon!" Hope rekindled. The warriors, enduring their pain, reorganized their formation and charged towards the greater demon. The mages, meanwhile, gathered their strength in the rear, preparing to deliver a fatal blow. The greater demon sensed their intentions and stomped its foot in anger, instantly splitting the ground and disrupting the warriors' rhythm. Just as the greater demon was about to launch a new attack, a mysterious old man in the group suddenly intervened. He formed hand seals, and a golden light enveloped the greater demon, temporarily immobilizing it. Seizing this precious opportunity, the team concentrated their firepower on the greater demon's forehead. With a deafening roar, the greater demon crashed to the ground, and the surrounding lesser demons vanished instantly. The team had finally achieved victory in this hard-fought battle. Just as everyone was cheering and celebrating, the mysterious old man's expression suddenly changed. "Oh no, this might just be an illusion!" No sooner had the words left his mouth than the fallen demon slowly rose again, its eerie light intensifying and its aura several times stronger. It turned out that its earlier collapse was deliberate, designed to lull everyone into a false sense of security.

The great demon let out an even more deafening roar, unleashing a black energy wave towards the group. The mysterious old man attacked again, but could only barely withstand a portion of it. Many team members were still struck by the energy wave and collapsed to the ground.

Just when the situation was critical, the team member who had previously discovered the weakness suddenly had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "Let's split up and attack, disrupting the rhythm of the eerie light flashing on its forehead!" Upon hearing this, everyone quickly dispersed and launched attacks on the great demon from different directions. The great demon was caught off guard and the eerie light flashing on its forehead began to become chaotic.

Seizing the opportunity, the mages concentrated all their power and unleashed a final spell, striking the great demon directly in the forehead. This time, the great demon could no longer withstand the attack and collapsed completely, never to rise again. The group had finally won the battle. It was a truly dramatic and suspenseful affair.
